I sholuld've seen it earlier, but this won't work, the var attibute is inaccessible outside the f:selectItems component.  Falling back to the original proposal.

It will work, but with 'var' defined at picklist level, not at select item's.

Yeah, that's the conclusion I came to as well.

What I've got working so far, looks as follows:

<rich:pickList value=#{targetValues} columnVar="foo">

     <f:selectItems value="#{beanSelector.values}"/>

     <f:converter converterId="EntityBeanConverter" />

     <rich:column>#{foo.title}</rich:column>

     <rich:column>#{foo.value}</rich:column>

</rich:pickList>

I'm suggesting calling the pickList iteration variable attribute "columnVar" so as to be less ambiguous to end users.  The only other thing I would propose is possibly allowing for "items" and "itemValue" attibutes in the <rich:pickList> component itself.  But aside from an additional line of conciseness, I don't think anything is gained.

The nice thing about this, is the transition from <h:selectMany> to <rich:pickList> is trivial, and adding support for columns is minor.

Does the above facelet syntax seem palatable to everyone?

Edit: Fixed the columnVar EL reference

Dear Jay,

I'm using Richfaces 4.1.0.20110805-M1.

I have a problem with a page that has a picklist.

Everything works properly, but after that some data is submited and any other action is "triggered" everything fails.

The tag "<a4j:ajax event="change" render="result, itens"/>" fails without any message.

Any other action returns the following message:

"java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 1, Size: 1"

I don't have list, collection or array in the actions.

Could you help me ?

Thanks in advance.

Valmir,

I'd have to see the code from your facelet file, and your backing bean.

Could you please start a new thread in the user forum, and provide these details:
